Sugar House Relay and Maple Mini Snowshoe Races
Join Garnet Hill Lodge for a day of maple-themed racing and eating in the Adirondacks.
Sugar season snowshoe racing in the Adirondacks at Garnet Hill Lodge.
Beautiful Garnet Hill Lodge and Outdoor Center will host a fun day of snowshoe racing in the Adirondacks Gore Mountain and Schroon Lake region.
It’s sugaring season in the Adirondacks when maple syrup producers harvest sap. When winter wanes, usually around the beginning of March, we experience warmer days while the nights are still cold, creating ideal conditions and increasing sap flow.
Garnet Hill acknowledges and celebrates this seasonal event with a day of fun snowshoe racing accompanied by delicious maple product sampling.
The Maple Mini Snowshoe Race.
A one-mile entry fun race, the Maple Mini is short and sweet.
First-place racers from every age group will be entered to win a season pass to Garnet Hill for the 2024-25 Season.
The Sugar House Relay.
A 4-mile Relay (2 miles per leg). Teams can be either two or four people.
First-place teams will receive maple syrup from local maple farms, including syrup made from Garnet Hill Maple trees and Cobble Creek Farm.
The first leg of the racecourse starts at The Garnet Hill Outdoor Center and runs to the Sugar House; the second leg begins at the Sugar House and returns to the Outdoor Center.
Pancake brunch at The Bobcat with pure Adirondack Maple Syrup.
Afterward, meet up at the Bobcat Bar & Grill on the second floor of the Outdoor Center for pancakes, served with local maple syrup. Pancake brunch is complimentary with registration; Non-registrants will be charged a small fee.
